The Incompetent and Under-Equipped Capitol Cops

This report from John Solomon is exactly why Schiff put on his clown-show with Boopsie lying about events in the Presidential limo.

...Post-Jan. 6 review showed many upgrades were still not made and officers had expired shields and other equipment.

Those reviews also faulted Capitol Police management for failing to manage, schedule and deploy officers in the most strategic manner as the threats of violence grew more ominous in the days leading up to the riots. The building was significantly understaffed, some of the department’s elite riot units were deployed to other duties and those civil disturbance units that were activated couldn’t readily get their equipment because it was locked in a bus and the key could not be readily found, the after-action reports concluded....

... One of the most egregious failures that occurred in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 riots was that specific intelligence the FBI had given to Capitol Police deputy chiefs – including that bad actors planned to storm the Capitol, target members of Congress and blockade the tunnels leading to the complex – were never shared to the field commanders and officers or even Chief Sund himself. As a result, the tactical plan to protect the Capitol was not revised to address the emerging threats....

 ...The cycle of warnings followed by inadequate action and change has persisted even after the Jan. 6 tragedy. Last week, Papathanasiou issued a statement warning many promised actions have still not been fulfilled some 18 months after one of the darkest days in the Capitol building’s history.

"Congress needs to support and resource the USCP to meet the high threat environment we face every single day," he pleaded on the night Democrats launched prime-time hearings seeking to blame former President Donald Trump for the Jan. 6 episode.

Papathanasiou blamed Congress for reneging on some of its promises and add that  “front-line officers do not understand how” the Capitol Police leaders who failed to forward crucial intelligence remain in their positions....

It's no surprise that Congress failed to keep its promises re updates, training, force levels, etc.  They lie all the time about everything.

It's also no surprise that Pelosi and Schumer want to bury this information--which is why they dragged out Two-Sugars to lie like Hell about events in the limo on January 6th.

Now they're busy financing World War III.  Heard about Sweden and Finland joining NATO?  About England's upcoming full mobilization?

You will, but it's not going to be a comfortable day.
